We actually had our Honeymoon here! We thoroughly enjoyed our eleven night stay.
The Hotel basic, the room was a little old fashioned and the bathroom past its best. There was a problem with hot water and the comments about not bringing in drinks are true. All that said there are better rooms available for more money and we took out own kettle and drinks in to our room it is just a matter of being discreet.
The staff are excellent, they are friendly, helpfull and courteous like most Turkish people. Another Brit had a problem with his suitcase and the staff leant him a screwdriver and located some screws of the right size to fix it.
We used the breakfast area, the bar, the pool and had two evening meals at the hotel, could not find fault with anything. At the bar the beer was ice cold, the cocktails were mixed perfectly and the bar man was witty and entertaining with all the guests. The food in the restaurant was a credit to Turkish cuisine, though English and other dishes were available.
The Hotel is in a great location a short walk from the bars, restaurants and beach but far enough away that the noise from the town is dulled. The Dolmus goes from the road nearby in both directions to/from Bodrum.
Would recommend the Hotel to anyone, be realistic though and don't expect too much luxury, given how much you pay.
